Radiodensitometric Evaluation Of The Effect Of Low Energy Laser Irradiation With And Without Anioxidant Therapy On Immediately Loaded Implant Supported Overdenture, Fardos N. Rizk, Mouchira Salah Eldin Prof. Oct 2011

Radiodensitometric Evaluation Of The Effect Of Low Energy Laser Irradiation With And Without Anioxidant Therapy On Immediately Loaded Implant Supported Overdenture, Fardos N. Rizk, Mouchira Salah Eldin Prof.

Dentistry

objective: The purpose of this study is to compare the bone height and density around immediately loaded implants placed in the canine area supporting a mandibular overdenture in four different groups. The first group received low level laser therapy and antioxidants. The second group received antioxidants only. The third group received low level laser therapy only. The fourth group (control group) received no therapy. materials and methods: Following one stage surgical protocol twenty four implants were inserted bilaterally in the canine region to support mandibular overdentures for twelve completely edentulous patients in the form of two implants per patient. Patients …


Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy For Promoting Osseointegration Around Dental Implants In Heavy Smokers, Fardos N. Rizk, Nasser Shaheen Jul 2011

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy For Promoting Osseointegration Around Dental Implants In Heavy Smokers, Fardos N. Rizk, Nasser Shaheen

Dentistry

Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on osseointegration of implants supporting mandibular overdenture in heavy smokers. Materials and Methods: Following two stage surgical protocol twelve completely edentulous male heavy smokers received implants placed bilaterally in the canine region to support mandibular overdenture. On the second day after the surgery patients were divided randomly into two equal groups. Patients of group I were placed on a protocol of five consecutive sessions of HBO therapy, while patients of group II received no therapy and served as control. Four months following the surgery …


Tomographic Assessment Of Different Attachment Sizes In Implant Supported Overdenture, Fardos N. Rizk, Marwa Sabet, Wael Amer Jan 2011

Tomographic Assessment Of Different Attachment Sizes In Implant Supported Overdenture, Fardos N. Rizk, Marwa Sabet, Wael Amer

Dentistry

objective: This research was carried to evaluate which ball size mounted on bar splinting two implants supporting overdenture is more favorable regarding bone height and density. material &methods: Two implants(Tut Dental Implant System,ECDI Cairo, Egypt) splinted by bar (OT bar Multiuse attachments,Cas,RHEIN 83, ITALY) carrying two balls (OT Cap attachments, Cas, RHEIN 83 Italy) were inserted in n=10/gp. Patients were divided into two groups according to the size of the balls used which were either micro1.8mm or macro 2.5mm (control group). For all patients overdentures were constructed & conventional tomograms were taken. Crestal bone height & density around the implants …


The Effect Of Two Different Implant Systems On Bony Changes In Mandibular Implant Supported Overdenture, Fardos N. Rizk, Eatmad Elrekaby, Azza Farahat Jan 2011

The Effect Of Two Different Implant Systems On Bony Changes In Mandibular Implant Supported Overdenture, Fardos N. Rizk, Eatmad Elrekaby, Azza Farahat

Dentistry

objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the bone changes that may occur around Legacy I implants and NanoTite Tapered implants supporting mandibular overdentures utilizing cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). materials and methods: Fourteen completely edentulous male patients were randomly divided into two equal groups. Group I: Each patient received two Legacy I implants. Group II: Each patient received two NanoTite Tapered Implants. All implants were inserted bilaterally in the mandibular canine region. For all patients conventional complete dentures were constructed before implants placement. After complete osseointegration of implants, dome shaped healing collars were screwed to the implants upon which …
